New Patients

Your First Visit, Step by Step

No surprises. No high-pressure sales pitch. An honest evaluation of whether chiropractic is the right fit for what's going on with you.

Complimentary, no-obligation consultation for new patients We'll evaluate your situation honestly — including whether chiropractic care is the right fit. No pressure, no upsell, no commitment.
What to Expect

About 45–60 minutes from check-in to walking out the door

Your first visit is more thorough than a follow-up. We want a complete picture of what's going on before we recommend a path forward.

Step 1 · ~10 minutes

Check-in & intake paperwork

Health history, prior treatments, current medications, what brought you in. We'll have most of this in advance if you fill out the intake forms online beforehand.

Step 2 · ~15–20 minutes

Consultation with your doctor

One of our three doctors will sit down with you and talk through what you're experiencing — pain pattern, what makes it better or worse, what you've already tried, what your goals are. This is a conversation, not an interrogation.

Step 3 · ~10 minutes

Physical examination

Range-of-motion testing, orthopedic tests, and neurological assessment specific to your complaint. We're looking for the underlying cause, not just the symptoms.

Step 4 · ~10 minutes (if indicated)

Digital X-ray on-site

If imaging is clinically indicated, we take digital X-rays in our office and read them in the room with you — same day. No referring you out, no waiting a week for results.

Step 5 · ~10 minutes

Honest evaluation & care plan

Your doctor explains what they found and whether chiropractic care is the right fit for your situation. If yes, we outline a care plan that reflects what your body actually needs. If no, we'll tell you why and refer you appropriately.

Step 6 · If time allows

First treatment

If care is appropriate and time permits, your first adjustment or decompression session can happen the same visit. Otherwise, we schedule it for your next appointment.

What to Bring

Six things to have with you

Photo ID

Driver's license or any government-issued photo ID.

Insurance card

Primary and secondary if you have both. Medicare card if applicable.

Recent imaging (if any)

X-rays, MRI, or CT scans from the last 12 months. CD or printout is fine.

Medication list

Names and doses. A photo of your medicine cabinet works.

Comfortable clothing

Loose-fitting clothes you can move freely in. We have gowns available if needed.

Your questions

Write them down ahead of time. We'd rather answer five questions than two.

Family Practice

From newborns to patients in their nineties

We're a family practice in the truest sense. Many of our current patients are the children and grandchildren of patients Dr. John first saw decades ago.
